CPSC, Once Upon a Family Announce Recall of Memory Trunks
Description
The yellow and tan Memory Trunk is about 22 inches long by 14 inches wide by 13.5 inches high and made of fiber board. It is decorated with photos of family activities and various phrases, such as "A Childhood Cherished," "A Place in Time" and "Mementos and Memories." Once Upon A Family intended the trunk for use as a storage box for childhood mementos and does not intend it for use by children.
Injuries / Consequence
CPSC and Once Upon A Family are aware of one incident where the lid of a trunk fell on a 2-year-old boy, entrapping him between the lid and the base. The child was not injured.
Remedy
Consumers should keep the Memory Trunk out of reach of children and contact the firm to receive a free repair kit. The repair kit includes a warning sticker and a padlock so that the Memory Trunk can be locked. Consumers can also request a free replacement lid that is not attached by hinges, which eliminates the risks of entrapment and strangulation.
